laid there through the night, and next

the inhabitants of that place, and also
startling them when they heard her big
guns. On Thursday she left for Maui,
and anchored off Kahului Friday at
noon. A number of the officers went
ashore and visited the different places Of
interest in and around Wailuku. The

Apprentices.

The apprentice question will not
wait much longer for hearing. The
right to earn 2 living by honest labor
is as fundamental as any right can be.
But when the trades are hedged about
with rules which limit the number of
apprentices, when the lists are COM
plete, and when the ranks of the ordin-
airy unskilled labor are full, then the
surplus boys are ordered off the earth.
There is no place for them, and their
only possible chance for existence is in
begging or crime. When the trades
unions set up their rules limiting the
number of apprentices to be taught
their trades in any shop, they did it
for the purpose of preventing the
market being oVerstocked with skilled
labor, and the consequent reduction of
wages from an over supply. But the
rule has had no such effects. 1t has
not lessened a whit the number of
skilled workingmen. What it has
done, and all it has done, has been to
prevent the sons OF Americans-both
native and adopted-from learning
their fathers trades; ii has had the in
evitable result of forcing our men,
who might be earning from SIS to $50
per week as skilled artisans, to accept
salaries of from S. to SO as clerks or
statesmen, or book-keepers, or, worse
than that, to compel them to live a
hand-to-mouth sort of life, doing any
thing or nothing, as their lack of train
ing to any sort of work rendered i'm
perative. Our workshops have not
fewer mechanics in them than if there
had never been rule against appren-
tees. There was the demand for
skilled workmen, and there being not
a sufficient supply here our employers
readily got it from abroad. They are
constantly getting skilled workmen
from over the sea, who come here and
take the places that the sons of our
workingmen should be permitted to
take, should, indeed, be welcomed
to. That our streets are so full of
idle, vicious young and middle-aged
men is chiefly due to the extinction of
the apprentices in our work shops

Tie Pagan Idea OF Death.

Death was the beautiful genius, twin
brother OF sleep. who extingaished the
torch as gently as the moon steals
out when the sun has set. He was
no grisly King of Terror. with his
scythe in his heskless hand grinning in
mockery as he news dswn the laugh
ing crowds chasing that phantom,
Pleasure, over the steep edge into the
unfathemable abyss. He was the fair
faced soft-feshed, poppy-crowned,
who came with neiseless steps, and led
the wearied soul to rest with a tender
hand. Though Hades was dim and
dark, and the fields of asphodel were
but sorrowful Fairgrounds for the
strengthless heads of those who had
won the prizes at Olympia and tanned
horses at Ellis, still the idea of death
was more beneficent than malevoleRt
and his form was as beautiful as the
fate he heralded was at least free from
pain and torture. Before that inevita-
BILE should have come when the last
farewellS must needs be said and the
fair things of earth abandoned, the
Greek filled up his rose-erowned cup
to the brim and drank - wine of hap
piness to the last clear drop. Wherever
he went and whatever he did he sur
rounded himself with beauty as with
a garment; and the rhythmic har-
monies of his early education pene-
etrated his mahIre existence and made
his whole world melodious.-F0rtrslgh

OLD TIME MINT MACHINERY.

In former times coins were often cast
and indeed some of The most beautiful
specimens of numisnatic workmanship
known, such as fac medals of Giulio
Romano were so made. Striking from
engraved dies bias, however, been prac-
ticed from early times; most of the Greek
and the Roman coins, as we'll as those OF
India, were thus formed. The invention
of the rolling mill and of the disk cutter,
which seems to have been suggested by
Leonardo da Vinci, who designed many
of the medieval coins, has served to per-
petuate the method of striking. The
impression of the dies was originally
given blows from a hammer, method
which continued to be used as late as 16
81, owing to the prejudice of the money
ers," who resisted the Introduction of
machinery for the purpose. The ham
mer was, however, gradually replaced by
the screw press, and this machine, of
much the same form as that used by Ben
venuto CeIlini, who made coins for Pope
Clement VII, is figured in Akerman's
plate of the coming room of the Tower,
published in the early part OF the CEN
fury. Boulton, in 1890, first applied
steam to the power press, and his screw
press continued to be employed in the
mint down to 1882, when the lever press
of Uhlhorn was exclusively adopted =

He Called the King "Aleck."

Capt Stephen Taylor of Boston
spent good deal of time at Honolulu
between one voyage and another, and
was always treated as person to
whom a great deal of consideration
was due He visited the royal family
quite often, and was there received by
his Majesty King Kamehameha, who
was known as king Aleck" by the
American and English residents on
terms of absolute equality.
One day there was state procession
in the streets of Honolulu, and the ma
tives had gathered from all over the
kingdom to dc honor to royalty.
Among the crowd ami leaning noncha-
lantly against tree with quid in his
| mouth and his big Panama hat on his
head, was Capt. Stephen Taylor
Presently there was a blare of horns
down the street, and the head of the
royal procession came to view. Off
went the headgear of such of the ma
tives as had any headgear, but Capt.
Taylor remained covered, making no
other movement than to roll his quid
to the other cheek
"Why don't you take off your hat
Captah?" asked native who spoke
English.
The captain vouchsafed no reply.
But presently as the royal party drew
near, an Englishman said to him:
Hadn't you better uncover, Cap
tainp"
NO" said he. Il never took off
my hat to niger yet, and never will. "
1t was a rude speech, but not meant
to be insulting, quite evidently, for the
next moment the royal party came
quite abreast, and Capt. Stephen Tay-
lor still with his Panama set non
chalantly on the back of his head called
out cheerily to the King:
Hello, Aleck!'
The King looked an instant at the
Captain, and then called out in quite
as CHEEKY :: tone:
"Helio, Steve"
And the cortege moved on amid the
applause of the crowd, convincing one
Englishman that Boston sea cap
tain was at least as great man as O
King OF Hawaii. -BOSton transcript.

Be Kind to Your Horse

Kindness with the family horse is of
the utmost Importance. Always Gull
tlvate an acquaintance. and be on
social and friendly terms with him.
If he is tired and worn out, it is aston
ishing how these little attentions will
encourage and cheer him up. When
not in use, he should be given rea-
sonable amount of daily exercise. No
animal will do well without exercise.
1t promotes a good action of their
limbs, and assists digestion. The har-
ness should. be made to fit, thus avoid
ing chafes and bruises. In cold
weather the lips and tongue of the
horse may be made very sore by con-
tact with the frozen bit The bit
should always be warmed before be-
ing placed i'll the horses mouth Flies
are very annoying to horses, and the
use of the net, or some preparation
that will keep the flies away, is well
repaid.
Care in driving is &C the greatest
Importance. How often do we see an
animal driven until wet with perspir-
alton, and dotted with foam, standing
WITHOUT blanket or protection of any
kind from the cold northern winds.
When in such condition, he evidently
suffers intensely; besides the danger
of contracting diseases, from which he
will never recover. If any law on our
statute book should be more rigidly
enforced than another, it is the one
against fast driving. When in use,
blankets should always be provided in
cold weather, SO that they viii dry
without chilling. Protect them from
drafts when warm, and either rub
down or let them stand In stable.
